This is a certain fantasy image of itself; there is a tendency in the souls that were incarnated in French bodies to have a mental image of what a real Frenchman actually is; and to build up this image - “I am a real Frenchman” - with the help of the imagination, to build up what should correspond to the fantasy image of the French soul that the French soul wanted to make of itself, that was actually the struggle that the French nation fought in the course of the nineteenth century: To build something on the physical plane that wanted to build the French nation out of its fantasy images. The call for “gloire” was not a call for what the Frenchman was, but for what he wanted to make of himself. Every Frenchman carries another person within him, with whom he has to struggle after death. This, as it were, imagined person forms a point of attack for Ahriman. This is in the etheric body, these are etheric shadows and schemes.
